Clearly, each statement lone is insufficient as there is data about only 2 years in each statement. I & II : Let profit in 2001 = 100x and profit in 2002 = y => profit in 2003 = 140x [40% more] Now, 100x + y = 20 Since, there are two variables and one equation, we cannot solve it. Thus, I & II together are insufficient. Similarly, I & III and II & III are insufficient. I & II & III : Combining all the statements, we get
Let profit in 2001 = 100x => profit in 2003 = 140x [40% more] => Profit in 2002 = $$frac{80}{100}$$ * 140x = 112x Now, 100x + 112x = 20 crore [From II] => x = 20/212 => Profit in 2002 = 112x = 112 * $$frac{20}{212}$$ = 10.5 crore Thus, all statements together are sufficient.
